A few days ago
And you came home with flowers
The words to tell you.
Art Prescription: Some days surprise you to no end….and you don’t forget them.

Pillar June 7, 2014
A pillar of strength
Horses, with their all knowing
Grateful for the ride.
Art Prescription: I rode Lacey today at Blue Skies of Mapleview. She is so sweet…oh dear…heart tug! On a whim, I stopped by another local horse barn. There I met Victoria, a beautiful girl, and her owner. I did a brush painting of her, trying to capture her strong features and gorgeous lines.
On the Verge June 6, 2014
Garden on the verge
Flower buds swell in the hope
Of a full blossom.
Art Prescription: We do want to live up to our own expectations… Look around you and realize you have already done it!!! Peace.
Come In My Muse June 2, 2014
Pause, ponder, produce
The muse, her senses keen, waits
Open door, “Come in.”
Art Prescription: So my good friend Farley said to me today, “pause, ponder, produce.” I just adore that. I invite you to do the same!! And let your muse in to “pause, ponder, produce.” Aho!
Dragonflies June 1, 2014
Big fat dragonflies
Wings flicker in sun over
Turtles on a log.
Art Prescription: It was very “buzzy” at Mason Farm today. Lots of winged insects. Dragonflies big as birds, well, almost. Watercolor pencil on 3 x 5 notecard illustration.
Summer Heat May 30, 2014
After you’ve been hot
A cool breeze in the blue shade
Rushes your body.
Art Prescription: Summer is here. Sultry heat, humidity, shorts and tees, hot bright sun. There is always a little relief under a big tree with a breeze.
Spray It May 29, 2014
Spray it with color
Wine tastes like watermelon!
Both need newspaper!!
Art Prescription: Remember eating watermelon and spitting the seeds out! Did your grandmother put a big piece of newspaper under the juicy watermelon? My day in a haiku!!
Simply Love May 28, 2014
Out beyond the gate
I find my breath, deep and full
On a white mare’s back.
Art Prescription: Rode Lacey today! Some ring work…my trot a little better…and then off into the woods and corn-fields. Lean forward going up-hill and lean back going down hill. I try to let her rhythm carry my body. Trust, let go and breathe. Folks this is big.
Color Galore May 27, 2014
Shelves of pure color
Buy single or in a group
Paint in a pencil!
Art Prescription: Field trip to the art store today. Shelves of color, watercolor, acrylic, oils, pastels, colored pencils, watercolor pencils, ink, markers. It’s intoxicating!! And oh all the papers…
Well I survived and got out with some exciting stuff to try. A bargain for the spirit.
Gerber Daisy May 25, 2014
Gerber daisy wow!
A sea of velvet petals
In every hue.
Art Prescription: Any garden shop is a canvas for a floral artist. Nature makes colors we mortals attempt to match. It would be a fun challenge to mix and match each color of this photo. So many shades of pink, red, and yellow…a good learning exercise.
